Control of Hazardous Energy – (Lockout / Tagout)
Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected energy,
startup of machinery/equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities.
This requires that a designated individual turn off and disconnect the machinery/equipment from its energy source(s) before
performing service or maintenance and that the authorized employee(s) lock and tag the energy-isolating device(s) to prevent
the release of hazardous energy and take steps to verify that the energy has been isolated effectively.

Introduction
Safety Precautions
Read this instruction manual thoroughly before operating the machine. Be sure and understand the
limitation and dangers that may occur during the operation of the machine.
Only allow authorized persons who have been properly trained to operate the machine.
Insure that the machine is properly connected to the power supply.
NOTE: Only a licensed electrician should install this machine.
Before the power supply is connected, be sure that all switches are in the off position.
Disconnect the electrical power before installing knives, heads or performing routine maintenance on
the machine. Inspect the machine or change parts only when the machine is turned off.
Operate the machine only with all the safety guards and covers properly installed.
Never leave the machine operating unattended. When shutting the machine down, remain near the
machine until all motion stops.
Check the machine for loose objects before operating the machine.
Keep the machine free from sawdust buildup - especially build up of sawdust around the motors.
Installing and Connecting Power
For safe and effective operation confirm your incoming voltage and available amperage is equal to what the
machine hasRequirements
been wired for at the factory.
Electrical
Ensure all wiring and electrical connections are located in a safe position and away from any hazardous
conditions.
A qualified electrician should complete electrical connections and check for correct motor directional rotation.
Installation Considerations
Check the machine for transport damage. Inform the shipper and the manufacturer immediately if any
damage is found. The machine should be set up in a dry location, on a level floor. When installing, keep in
mind the length of the material you will be handling with the machine and allow for enough room for the
material to pass through the planer without hitting a wall or another piece of equipment.
A chip blower is very important for this machine. Chips will impede your materials pass through the
machine and affect the finish if not quickly sucked out of the machine. 4000 cfm is a good size blower for
this machine. four 4" vacuum hoses are required for this machine, so keep in mind where they will be when
installing the machine.
7
Have air available for blowing the machine free of chips if buildup is observed.
Make sure adequate power is supplied to this machine. If using a phase converter for power, be sure the proper
size phase converter is available. Also, make sure adequate power is available to run both the machine and a chip
collection system. Check with your electrician to insure the proper size wire is used to supply the machine.
Try to locate your off switches for auxiliary equipment such as a vacuum system close to the control panel on
the machine. An electrical disconnect switch for killing the power to the machine is recommended.
Connecting the Power
This machine should only be installed by a qualified electrician.
Make sure the correct voltage is supplied to the machine.
The electrical box is located on the rear of the machine.
Checking Rotation
To check proper rotation of the motors, start only the feed motor first. Look at the direction the feed rollers
are turning to determine if the machine's motors are turning in the correct direction. If these rollers are
turning the wrong direction, the electrician should switch two of the wires to correct this. Check again with
the feed motor only.
8
Control Panel Operation
Location
The control panel for the machine is located on the left side at the infeed end of the machine.
The panel consist of the master on/off switch, emergency stop switch, a digital controller (display with keypad) and five
start/stop buttons.
Start Buttons
Each motor has its own start and stop button. Pressing the start button(button on the left) for each motor will start the
motor for that head. The last button is the feed motor and should be started last in the series.
9
Master Switch
The master on/off switch (1.)is located in the top left hand corner of the panel, and controls the power to the machine.
This switch, when switched on, provides power to the control panel. When switched on, the LED in the digital display will
provide a readout of the height of the table. No other switches can operate if this switch is in the off position. When this
switch is in the on position, the other buttons will start the motors when pressed.
When the machine is operating, this switch will turn all motors off at once if turned to the off position.
Digital Controller
The digital controller provides the means to control the height of the table with a motor. The table can be raised and
lowered with a crank handle manually as well.
10
The digital controller consists of a digital readout display and a numeric keypad.
Setting the current table height in the controller
It is important that the correct table height be entered into the controller. To do this, determine the correct table
height by running a piece of material through and measuring the height of the milled material. Then set the table
height on the controller to this measurement.
To set the current table height in the controller:
Enter the height in numbers and then press the SET
display change to the correct number.
(e.g. to set the machine to ¾ inch: Press the UNIT
button and hold it ten seconds. You will see the
Button until the inch LED is lit. Enter .75
on the keypad and then hold the SET
button for ten seconds).
NOTE: Once the controller is set to the correct height of the table, it will keep this setting even when the machine is turned off.
You can manually move the table with the crank handle as long as the master switch is off. You will have to reset the height
controller.
Changing the Units Display
This controller displays three modes. You can set it to display in English or Metric by pressing the UNIT button. Watch the
LED to see which unit the controller is currently set in. The third unit is not used in Canada or the U.S.
11
Note: Inches must be entered in decimals.
Digital Controller Operation
To change the height of the table with the digital controller the top door must be closed the master switch turned on. The
emergency stop button cannot be engaged.
To change height of the table:
Press the SET
button.
Press the height you desire the table to be. (e.g. to set to 3/4 inch, press the period, 7, and the 5 key )
12
Press START
The table will then move to that height.
Adjusting the table height
The table height can be adjusted using the arrows on the keypad as well. Instead of typing in a number, you can press
the min
or
plus key and move the table up(minus key) or down(plus key) using
this method as well.
NOTE: The crankshaft will turn as the table is moving up or down. Be sure to remove the crank handle
as shown below before moving the table with the digital controller. If left on the crankshaft, it will rotate and might
come in contact with the operator. Always keep the crank handle off the shaft unless you are using it to adjust it up or
down manually.
13

2. Crank shaft for manually adjusting table height.
Note: You can manually move the table with the crank handle as long as the master switch is on. However, if you move the
table height manually when the master switch is turned off, you will lose this setting and will have to reset the height in the
controller.
14
Safety Switches
There are two safety switches on the machine. The emergency stop button(2.) is to the right of the Master On/Off switch.
This switch, when pressed will immediately shut down the machine if it is running. It will also not allow any motor to start until
this switch is reset.
Reset the switch by turning this switch clockwise. The switch will pop back out into its normal setting.
The door switch also will prevent the machine from starting unless the door is completely closed.

Setting Up the Machine
The setup of the machine is critical to correct operation. This chapter provides information needed to set
the machine
properly.
Machine Overview
The machine has 4 cutter heads - two in horizontal mode and two in vertical mode.

Arrows show correct direction of rotation of Cutter Heads
The horizontal heads have four slots - two are normally used for straight planing knives and two are
available for inserting moulding knives. However, the heads can be set with 4 straight planing knives or
with 4 moulding knives.
The side heads that come with the machine have two slots in which either straight cutters(supplied with
the machine) or moulding knives can be inserted. Other heads can be fitted onto these spindles, such
as corrugated knife heads, or carbide tipped three wing cutters. Taller cutter heads up to 4" can be
fitted on the side spindles also.
18
Setup is critical on this machine, as the material will track through the machine better with the proper setup. The material to
be machined should be evaluated for proper thickness and width, and the heads setup up accordingly. The right side fences
are critical for setup. The first right side fence determines how much will be removed from the right side of the stock. The
material should then track right against the second side fence. With either of these fences set incorrectly, the result will be
inconsistent material being produced out the other end.
General Considerations
Always use several short test pieces when setting the planer. Use similar size wood and type of material to the material you
will be working with.
Check the material to be planed for oversized pieces - either too thick or too wide. Remove any pieces that have loose knots
or are cracked excessively. Ensure that all material to be planed is below a certain thickness and width.
Sometimes pre-planning is necessary to accomplish this. Remember that the less material removed, the better the finish can
be, and the less wear and tear on the machine and your tooling.
Removing too much material will put stress on the machine and especially the ability of the chip collector to remove the
resulting chips.
It is preferable to have one side of the material to be ripped straight, especially certain types of mouldings and flooring.
Support the material to be planed adequately as it is being fed into the machine.
Take the time to properly set up the fences for the tooling you are using. Certain tooling requires different fence setups
from the previous setting.
Ensure that adequate chip collection is available and that all ports are open for removing chips.
Check for chip buildup in the machine and stop and blow the milling area of the machine clear of chips if this happens.
Excessive chip buildup will affect the quality and speed of planing/moulding.
19
Make sure that chips do not buildup underneath the machine and up around the motors.
Side Heads
The two side heads located on each side of the table, operate in opposite directions. One is stationary and the other is
moveable via the crank handle on the front of the machine. Both heads are set up in the same way.

4. Direction of rotation for side cutter head
5. Direction of material into the side cutter head.
6. Orientation of the knife in the head for proper milling of the material. Note: The flat side of the knife always is
against the chip breaker.
Right Side Cutter
The right side cutter is located on the right side of the machine looking down the machine from the infeed end. It is the
second cutter that comes into contact with the material being machined. This cutter head can perform straight or moulding
cuts on the right side of the material.
20
2. Right Side Cutterhead
The cutter head is stationary and the fences before and after it are critical. The first right side cutter head fence
determines how much material will be removed from the right side of the stock.
Setting the Right Side Cutter Fences
Set the first right side cutter head fence (7.) to the amount of material you want to remove from the right side of the
material. It is recommended that the material be straight line ripped before running through the machine.

running a test piece into the machine and stopping it just prior to hitting the third pressure roller on the left side of the
machine. Then move the second right side cutter head fence until it's in contact with the finished edge of the material.
NOTE: This fence improperly set could result in excessive side snipe as material moves through the machine.

Setting the Left Side Cutter Side Pressure Bearings
The Left Side Cutter provides the ability to mill varying width stock. The stock should not vary excessively however. The less
it varies the better, and preferably not over 1/2" of variation - 1/4" or less is better. It is best to rip your stock to the proper
dimension before milling.
The Left Side Cutter provides three side pressure bearings to hold pressure on the material as it moves through the
machine. Two are before the cutter head and one is after it.
The first two are set after the side cutter head is positioned in the machine for the proper width. Then the bracket holding
the side pressure bearings can be adjusted to apply the proper pressure on the material and to allow for the variance in
the stock.

25
The finished material side pressure bearing located just past the left side cutter should be set so that it is 1/16 - 1/8"
inside the finished material dimension, so that it applies pressure to the stock as it passes through and keeps the
material firmly against the second right side cutter fence.
Removing Side Heads
To remove the side head, use the 30 mm wrench(supplied) and a 1/2 inch wrench or small adjustable as
shown in the picture.
1. Wrench for holding the spindle secure while
removing lock nut.
2. 30 mm wrench for loosening or tightening lock nut.
3. Direction of rotation for cutting head.
A. Turn the lock nut this direction to tighten.
B. Turn the lock nut this direction to loosen.
Tip: To avoiding hurting hands when loosening lock nut, wear gloves and position the wrench holding the
spindle secure against the steel case so that it cannot move and turn the 30mm wrench against it.
Once the lock nut is loose, remove it and then the spacers and the head will slip off. The head will have
several spacers on top of it.

Moving The left Side Cutter
The moveable side cutter - the left side cutter head - can be moved back and forth across the machine to the desired
location. This is accomplished with a crank handle that is located on the front of the machine. This handle is removable
once the location has been set so that it cannot be easily moved accidentally.
Before cranking the handle, release the moveable side cutter locking handle located underneath the table.

Once the desired location is set, you must tighten the locking handle underneath the table as shown above.
Note: There is also a digital readout above the handle that is visible inside the machine that can provide you a reference for
resetting the machine. Also, keep in mind that the moveable side cutter should be set off the second fence. When this fence
is moved, then the reference off that fence is changed.
Horizontal Heads
The horizontal heads have four slots in which to put tooling. Two normally hold straight planing knives and two are
available for moulding knives. These can be positioned in the head using chip breakers that have two pins on which to
position the moulding knives.
Straight Planing Knives
The straight planing knives are inserted in the top and bottom head similarly. Both heads use a chip breaker and jack
screws to hold and position the knives at the proper location in the heads.
32
The chip breaker has locking bolts in the back of it that are tightened to hold the knife in place once it is set at the
proper height in the head using the jack screws. The jack screws are adjusted using an Allen wrench. Once the
knife is at the proper height, the chip breaker locking bolts are tightened.
The top head is 16" in length and the bottom head is 12" in length. If you are planing narrower lumber, you
can use the 12" planer knife in the top head also. For wider lumber, you will need the 16" long knife in the
top head.
The top head planer knives are set to 1mm above the chip breaker. The bottom head planer knife
is set to the height of the table just past the knife.
Use a setting block or knife setting gauge to set the knives at the proper height in the heads.
Profile Knives in Horizontal Head
Profile knives can be inserted into the horizontal heads. This is accomplished using small chip breakers
with 2 pins on them and one locking bolt in back to lock it into the head. The knives are placed onto the
chip breaker and then slid into place in one of the open slots in the head. A pair of profile knives are used
when making a profile cut from the head. These are placed on opposite sides of the head and should be
lined up exactly from one side to the other. The index marks on the head are used to line up the pair of
knives from one side of the head to the other.
In the top head, profile knives can be made to cut up to 3/4" in depth. In the bottom head, the
maximum depth of profile is 1/4".
Pressure Shoe for Top Head
The pressure shoe (6.) is located just in front of the top horizontal head. The applies downward pressure to
the stock as it passes through the machine and helps prevent excessive movement by the board as it is
being milled by the top head. The pressure applied by the pressure shoe is adjustable. Use the pressure
shoe adjusting screws and springs to increase or decrease the pressure applied by the pressure shoe.

Feed Speed Adjustment
Feeding speed on the machine can be varied from 10 fpm to 48 fpm.(feet per minute)
Several factors determine the speed at which material can be passed through the
machine:
The finish desired.
The type of material (hard versus soft)
